Artifact Armors!

Paladin, Black Mage, White Mage, Monk, and Warrior look confirmed. Guess the "Dark Knight" armor was for dragoon or whatever they end up naming it.


...And is it just me, or does it look like the Archer job has some sort of bow/harp hybrid? :>

I see one for each class.

Closest: Paladin
Background: Black Mage
Behind the Paladin (bottom): Warrior, then Monk
Behind the Paladin (top): Ranger, Dragoon
Above the Monk: White Mage

Pretty straightforward -- this means we'll be hearing more about this next Friday.

There are only two mages there. so this confirm CON = WHM and THM = BLM ..

Not necessarily.

They could easily have two for CON and none for THM yet -- they've said several times they are stil trying to figure out what goes where. For all we know that guy in the background could be a Dark Knight and that could be for THM and Lancer could just be MIA for now.

We don't know until they confirm it all -- which should happen next Friday.

It looks to me like the bard weapon is a bow that pulls apart to be a dagger and a harp. That is cool as hell.

Wow, your absolutely right. It looks exactly like a harp and a dagger bolted together. If that is what they have done, I rescind my previous statement of how bad this concept is and whole heartedly support it.

Yoshida did recently reaffirm the prospect of duel wielding..

Is it just me (because i am actually kind of furry) or is that MRD wearing fuzzy armor?
Boat-guild + Axe + Fur. I smell vikings!

Maybe this is just really hopeful thinking, but could the Black Mage and White Mage poses in the illustration be a preview of the new casting animations for THM/CON?

Yeah I had same idea. I bet it's new casting way without drawing a weapon, that SE mentioned before. Cant' wait!

Yeah that seems somewhat more likely than beastmaster. People are saying theres a wolf next to him but thats just the monks weapon. Even more so, an axe wielding pirate maybe? I dont really have anything to speculate on MRD.

I'm still thinking

CON = WHM and BLM
THM = RDM and BLU

[User201109011315]

honestly it would probably be better if these jobs had at least 2 alternatives for each. and maybe some added weapon choices for some jobs.
pug could go monk or assassin
gladiator fencer or paladin
mrd war or bserker
con whm or blm
thm some 2 new things
archer some actual bow based job and one more support oreinted.

etc.

Still overall pretty exciting pic.

Or they could have just decided not to lock jobs to weapons.

Or at the very least, they could have decided not to lock each job to only ONE weapon (class).

I agree with you though. The whole thing just reeks of forced fanservice, and ends up clashing awfully with the existing game mechanics. = fail.

CON = WHM BLM = fail
THM = RDM BLU = fail

math.

Ever played any other MMO? Bards use bows, that's as basic Minstrel-style weapon as there can be. Unless you shoot melodies out of your harp to deal damage, but that right there would be stupid.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW.
